    I love this album. It’s reminds I’m rare and every song is unique to its own genre. It’s fresh pop and one the most honest albums this year of 2020. It’s a bop and It’s so amazing.

From the lyrics to the sounds to the vocals to the emotions, Selena Gomez managed to drop a very coohesive album that you can listen to daily and not get bored of. This is an amazing example of what a pop albulm is supposed to be.

    The Selena Gomez came back to the music industry and has redefined pop and letting the world know what writing a good song is and how you can actually feel the gracefulness and elegance of a person though their music!

    Lo mejor del mundo, sinceramente tienen que escucharlo completo para dar su opinión, muchas de las críticas simplemente son tontas de personas envidiosas y necesitan que alguien las ame, wey las canciones son asombrosas no veo por qué darle una mala crítica

    Rare continually teases intriguing forays into leftfield pop, but so many of the album’s experiments come off as just that, without ever crystallizing with memorable hooks.

    The record she has delivered to kickstart a new decade is a career defining release, and from a pop star who is firmly back on top of her game.

    While none of these 13 songs attempt the subtle weirdness of “Bad Liar” and the emotional thesis—self-love!—can be a bit one-note, Rare is the 27-year-old’s most cohesive record to date. ... But it’s difficult to come away from Rare with any real perspective on who Gomez is other than that she doesn’t want to be the person she was, whoever that similarly mysterious shadow was.
